After a pull on both,
C:\boost\develop\libs\config\include\boost\config\auto_link.hpp  lines
171-172:

     // vc14.1:
#    define BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET "vc141"

but C:\boost\master\libs\config\include\boost\config\auto_link.hpp lines
171-172:

   // vc15:
#  define BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET "vc150"

IIUC, develop is correct, while master is out-of-date.

So it looks like at the least develop for config needs to be merged into
master for config.

HTH,
